Explanation

The Mahabharata war's root cause was the deep-seated rivalry and enmity between the Kaurava and Pandava cousins, which began from their childhood and continued into adulthood. This lifelong enmity manifested in various ways - the jealousy of the Kauravas (especially Duryodhana) toward the Pandavas' capabilities and popularity, incidents like Draupadi's humiliation, and the dispute over kingdom division. Option A captures this comprehensive cause, while other options focus on narrower aspects like throne rivalry alone.
